DIY Motorised Camera Slider With Object Tracking

In this video, I'll show you how to build your own motorised camera slider which can pan, rotate and track objects for some really cool shots and time-lapses. It can lift a mirrorless camera like the Canon M50 vertically, can be mounted onto a tripod, and works in any orientation, even upside down. A rotary pushbutton lets you input data on an OLED display to set the parameters for each movement. The motors are driven by two TMC2208 silent stepper motor drivers for smooth and quiet operation.
